Why Bet on Burnley?
The home team needs a victory to climb up, as they are 2 points behind the 17th.Even if for most of the season they were far from the battle, they have been slowly improving in the last two months. As a result, they have a chance of survival thanks to Nottingham Forest’s points deduction.
There was once a point when it looked like the Clarets would go down from the Premier League through the back door like Sheffield United, but there is a slim chance that the team manages to do enough to stay. However, most of their best results lately have been draws (2-2 with Chelsea and 1-1 with Manchester United), and they need wins.
They have only five wins and nine draws, but things are so tight that a couple of triumphs could do the job.
Why Bet on Newcastle?
The visitors look for another win, as they have had a successful season in general, with 16 wins, 5 draws, and 13 losses. They are currently at the place that should award a ticket to the next edition of the Conference League, with 53 points from 34 matches. However, being just one point shy of Manchester United gives them a chance of going to the next Europa League.
Now Newcastle will head into the upcoming match on the back of a 5-1 hammering of Sheffield United at St. James’ Park. It came after a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace, which followed a 4-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in front of their fans.
They have a crucial match with the Red Devils on May 15, so they must reach that date at the best possible moment.
Final Betting Analysis:Â Burnley vs. NewcastleÂ
Both teams are at opposite ends of the table, and their objectives are different. However, there are great financial implications, and both need a victory, so the ground is the same.Â
In the last 14 matches, Burnley has just got two wins. Meanwhile, Newcastle got seven triumphs, and there were five draws. Their last duel was in September and ended 3-0 in favor of the Magpies at St. James Park.
The main problem for Burnley in their previous matches with this rival is their inability to score, as they have just 11 goals in the aforementioned 14 games. This will be one of the Clarets’ biggest challenges towards the end of the season, and they will not get through it. We’ll go for a 0-2.
Go for a victory for the visitors at 2.033. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $103.3 for a total payout of $203.3.
